Mom of the Year....NOT!!!

I am definitely not in the running for the Mom of the Year Award anytime soon! We finally figured out what was going on with our little man yesterday......he repeatedly got the stomach flu (his daycare friends "shared" a few times with him) within a short period of time and so his digestive system just bascially shut down.

I kept thinking things would get better, but it's been over 2 weeks now (16 days!) but it's only been getting worse. He slept in our bed for about a week because he would wake up in the middle of night and throw up so quickly, without warning, that he would choke if I wasn't there to get him up! Good news: the stomach flu is gone and now we just have to get his little digestive system back, to normal. Which means a high "starchy" diet, lots of water, extra acidophilus, and plenty of Maalox tablets. (did you know little kids could take those?)

After about three weeks of our family getting sick, being sick and feeling sick I am so ready to get all of us healthy! I have done at least 4 loads of laundry a day now to catch up, sprayed two cans of Lysol around the entire house and have gone through an entire container of hand soap!

Also, when we took Carter in to the Pediatrician for his "chronic illness" has also got his Two Year Checkup! He weighs 25 pounds and is 34 inches tall! He is growing up so fast now and seriously makes Scott and I laugh repeatedly everyday! He can actually say a few full sentences now and learns new words everyday. Last night he said, "I want some wader peez"

Scott and I love him so much and just enjoy watching him grow up into the little man he's becoming. Now that we have his condition under control and at least figured out, we should be good to go for the future!
